Batman: Knightfall Omnibus #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis massive hardcover collects the first half of the sprawling 'Knightfall' saga, beginning with Batman's desperate hunt for the serial killer called the Joker's successor, the mysterious and brutal Bane. It includes the lead-up to Bane's systematic assault on Gotham's rogues gallery and culminates in the iconic moment where Bane breaks the Bat, forcing an incapacitated Bruce Wayne to pass the mantle to a new Batman. The volume gathers issues from the Batman, Detective Comics, and related titles of the early 1990s, presenting the epic storyline in its original reading order.
"Vengeance of Bane" kicks off with a haunting moment at Batman’s bedside, where Robin reflects on the aftermath of Bane’s brutal victory. Written by Doug Moench and illustrated with stark intensity by Klaus Janson—whose art spans pencils, inks, and colors—this story captures the weight of loss and the fragile resolve of Gotham’s protectors. Kelley Jones’ cover, a striking portrait of Batman’s fallen form, sets the tone for a tale where legacy and vengeance collide.
